Design Crush: David Hicks’ La Fiorentina

In yesterday’s inspiration post, I hinted at my love of graphic patterns and more specifically David Hicks’ La Fiorentina. I have had an ongoing love affair with this pattern for quite some time now. To me it is an absolutely classic print that will never go out of style. I love all of the colorways, but my two favorites are Ivory / Bark (shown above and in the images that immediately follow) and Wine/Magenta in smaller doses. I just think it is such a smart, crisp pattern that looks fabulous in both large and small doses and complements so many styles of décor.

It's amazing how much that pattern has popped up without ever realizing it until now. I love it in the magenta/wine but like you would opt for the bark/ivory version. I adore La Fiorentina used for drapes; makes such a impact. Great post Paloma! xx

Great photos. I love the wine/magenta but it's slightly too colourful for me. Next up would be white & black...classic and really shows off the pattern. I wonder...have you spotted a white on white verson?

I think the ivory/bark speaks to me the most because it is so classic. I love cut velvet fabrics, whenever I am at work pulling for my boss I always end up slipping some in even though it is totally not her or her clients taste at all! Maybe one day it will work for her!
